Young Drasko is happy working with his father in the Sarajevo market. The war is coming closer. Now Drasko must run the family flower stand alone. One morning, the baker's shop is bombed and 22 people are killed. The next day a cellist walks into the market and plays the most heartbreaking music Drasko can imagine. This man returns for 22 days, one for each victim of the tragedy. Inspired by the musician's act, Drasko finds a way to make Sarajevo beautiful again. Based on real events during the Bosnian war, award-winning songwriter and storyteller John McCutcheon tells the uplifting story of the power of beauty in the face of violence and suffering.
